New car / New wheels

Just picked up a 2010 X coupe last weekend and I've already started buying things for it! First I should say I've done tons of reading and searching on here, but still have a few questions, mainly because I have an AWD and most the answers I'm finding, I'm not sure if they still apply to me or not. I'm ordering a set of 20x8.5 wheels and I'm not sure which offset will work better with the drop I'm putting on it. My options are +20mm and +38mm. The tires are 245/35/20 all the way around. Obviously the drop springs will be Eibach, being that I'm not finding anyone else that makes them for the X. So I guess without going to coilovers, my only option is 1.9" in the front, 1.6" in the rear. A bit more than I was wanting to go. I live in an area that gets some decent snow sometimes throughout the winter, so I'm hoping that's not too much of a drop. Thanks in advance and glad to finally be a G owner!

Might want to look at this thread, it's a sedan so not sure if everything would be the same~
My 09 G37xS (AWD) Lowered on Tanabe - Droopy Bum fix too!(PICS) - G35Driver
Here's the Tanabe site and DOES list the G37 Coupe X on their application chart

Seems like Swift has been used on X coupes, at least in this case, might want to PM the guy for specific info~

I'm versed on sedan offsets so can't say for sure but the +20s would seem to be in the ballpark for a flush look, the +38s will be similar to stock so if you prefer that look then that would be the choice.
